Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 312 (TSSC312)

What a busy weekend and it all came to an end with a giant migraine today!  I am so glad it waited until after church to hit and didn't last all night--it is gone now!  That is the good news, the bad news is I have no sample for today's sketch--but there is more good news too--the design team ROCKED it so you will be more than inspired and I will get a sample posted ASAP!  Here is the sketch for this week....

and the teams fabulous samples....

Now it is you turn to play along...
when you are done come on back and leave your DIRECT link on the linky tool below.  Here are a few basic rules of play....

1. You have a full week to play along!
2. Create a new card using the sketch as your inspiration.
3. Use any products you choose.
4. Add your card to your blog or other on-line spot and link back to this challenge.
5. Come back here and add a direct link to your sample for the challenge and NOT you home page of your blog--people will not look for your challenge card--trust me.
6. And this one is not really a rule but a request--get rid of that word verification!  It makes it hard for us to comment on your samples.  It is easier for you to delete the spam then for us to jump through tons of hoops to comment.  If your put your comments on moderation you do not have to worry about spam--you will have the option to delete it BEFORE it ever goes on your blog so you will ALWAYS be safe!
7. Have fun and tell you friends to play too!

Top Three for sketch challenge 311!

I really enjoyed last week's sketch--I like the look of the split background.  I am not sure how others felt about it though since there were only three players.  But the good news is they were all awesome and I most likely would have chosen them anyway, lol!    Here are the top three picks for the week.

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 311 (TSSC311)

I hope that you and your family had a wonderful Easter (if you celebrate).  I know we did and the weather was beautiful!!!! I am so excited about the warm weather.  It was a long long winter.  I hope you chose to play along with my sketch challenge this week--it is another good one. And as usual the team rocked it!  Here is the sketch....

And my card, not really sure how I feel about it--I think I should have gone with a lighter color where the Tangerine Tango is on the background but I actually almost forgot to make a card all together and did not have time to re-do it.  So it is what it is..  I have been totally obsessed with this watercolor wonder paper.  So pretty and the colors are really fun.  Did you see  my new spring all occasion card tutorial yet?  I just posted it yesterday--check it out HERE.  Anyway, back to this card.  I finally inked up the Vivid Vases set--it is so pretty.

The vases are paper pieced with the yellow side of the watercolor paper.  I thought it was pretty and the flowers are colored to match the rest of the colors in the DP.

Stamps: Vivid Vases

Paper: Island Indigo, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, and Watercolor Wonder DP

Ink: Basic Black

Other: rhinestones, markers, butterfly punch.

And now for the rest of the team!

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 310 (TSSC310)

What a beautiful day we had here today.  Seventy two degrees and sunny!  Got to love it.  Of course it would not be Buffalo if they were not calling for SNOW on Tuesday--really -- the poor plants and animals must be so confused, lol!  Crazy--but as I always say.... It is what it is!

So how about the new sketch challenge for this week.  I think you guys are going to do wonderful things with this one.

Here is my sample for this week. I have had this Another Great Year set for quite a while and have not used it--don't I seem to say that a lot?! So I thought it needed to get inked up and feel the love.

I just noticed that I used the same colors as the sketch--and I have no ribbon--I did it from memory so it is pretty close my scallop can be my ribbon--what I love about sketches--it is really a starting point you can flip or change as long as you keep the main idea!

Stamps: Another Great Year

Paper: Coastal Cabana, Basic Black, Whisper White and Retro Fresh DP

Ink: Basic Black

Other: faux brads, Tasteful Trim Die, Doily 

Now for the rest of the teams samples....

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 309 (TSSC309)

It amazes me that I have been doing these challenges for 309 weeks!  That is crazy!  I am so glad you find time to play along.  I hope you do this week too.  It is a super easy one.

I kept my card super simple but I love it. It is so springy looking. 

 I just love tulips--I am always so excited when they begin to bloom.  This year I may have an issue though my two new puppies love to dig up EVERYTHING! I may not have any flowers, or even grass this summer.  UGGGG.  Good thing they are so loveable and cute.  

Stamps:  Blessed Easter, Express Yourself

Paper: Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Watercolor Wonder DP

Ink: Basic Black, Tangerine Tango

Other: markers
